The Hito-Yume-Gijutsu Group is a corporate group that comprehensively handles civil engineering and social infrastructure, as well as environmental and energy sectors, spanning design, surveying, operations, and product sales. The company provides a wide range of services including surveying, planning, design, and construction management for structures such as bridges, roads, ports, rivers, and railways, as well as information systems and software development, and planning, implementation, and operation of renewable energy projects.

Primary customers include national and local governments, road and railway operators, public facility managers, and private development companies. Revenue is generated from multiple streams: project-based income from design and consulting work, recurring service income from facility operations and maintenance, and product sales, rental fees, and information service licensing and usage fees.

The business is divided into three main segments: Consulting Services, Service Provider Operations, and Products. The Consulting Services segment handles structural analysis, geological surveying, urban and road planning, and PFI and business development support. The Service Provider Operations segment secures long-term revenue through road and public facility management, demand-responsive transportation, health support services, renewable energy operations, and financing services. The Products segment focuses on sales and rental of environmentally conscious products and provision of information systems and ASP services.

The company aims for sustainable growth and enhanced corporate value through its "Long-Term Management Vision 2030" and medium-term plan "Sustained Growth Plan 2025/2028." Specific numerical targets include consolidated revenue of 430 billion yen, operating profit of 2.2 billion yen, and approximately 2,400 employees (targets updated November 26, 2024). During the planning period, the company seeks to simultaneously stabilize core operations and establish new revenue streams. To achieve these goals, the company is diversifying revenue through expanded public works contracts, increased ongoing operations and maintenance income, and strengthened license revenue from products and information services.

The company has designated three priority investment areas: national infrastructure development and conservation, environment and new energy, and regional revitalization. Specific initiatives include deepening core technologies in bridge and river surveying and design to expand orders, while expanding renewable energy businesses including offshore wind geotechnical surveys, biomass, and geothermal projects. As a differentiation strategy, the company leverages its ability to provide integrated services from design and surveying through operations to product sales across its group, as well as its track record with patented bridge inspection robots and nationwide on-demand mobility support systems. The goal is to offer comprehensive, advanced services to both public and private sector clients on a one-stop basis.

The company actively pursues new market development and business expansion domestically and internationally. Domestically, it is expanding operational businesses using PPP/PFI schemes and on-demand mobility deployments across municipalities while acquiring new customers through regional technical staff placement and inter-group information sharing. Internationally, the company is strengthening sales and technical capabilities centered on Singapore operations and Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines (VIP), with plans to expand orders for bridge, railway, and port projects as well as regional development projects such as small hydropower. The company is simultaneously strengthening disaster response capabilities and risk management systems to ensure stable overseas expansion.

The company views technological innovation and digital transformation (DX) as growth drivers and prioritizes investment in research and development, demonstration projects, and external partnerships. Specific initiatives include deployment and patenting of bridge inspection robots, autonomous driving demonstrations utilizing on-demand technology, and smart city-related data platform integration, all aimed at improving productivity through operational efficiency gains. Additionally, the company pursues M&A for new business creation and joint development with external partners, advancing both technology investment and governance strengthening as dual pillars to build a long-term growth foundation.
